Foothill masonry

Built to match what's already there.

Gold Country homes and buildings are full of old brick and stone. Our job is to repair it so it blends in, holds up and looks like it has always been there.

Trowel & mud board

Laid by hand, brick by brick.

Every repair starts the same way: mortar mixed to match, a trowel, a mud board and a level. Here we are repairing a brick arch under a porch, setting each brick by hand so the new work blends into the old wall.

That is how we work on every Gold Country job, from a few loose bricks to a full chimney rebuild.
